由于全球范围内越来越多的男性被诊断出患有前列腺癌，了解和预防这种疾病非常重要。流行病学研究在饮食和遗传因素方面对前列腺癌的病因提供了一些见解。然而，与乳腺癌和肺癌等其他常见癌症相比，其病因仍然知之甚少。几个重要的问题可能有助于我们了解这种疾病——不同种族人群前列腺癌发病率的差异以及导致该疾病家族聚集的因素。
Because more and more men are being diagnosed with prostate cancer worldwide, knowledge about and prevention of this disease is important. Epidemiological studies have provided some insight about the cause of prostate cancer in terms of diet and genetic factors. However, compared with other common cancers such as breast and lung cancer, the causes remain poorly understood. Several important issues could help in our understanding of this disease-the variation in incidence of prostate cancer between ethnic populations and the factors leading to familial clustering of the diseases.
